2 Minnesotans win lottery over weekend, including $1M Powerball ticket
A Powerball ticket purchased at the Cottage Grove Holiday, located at 6921 Pine Arbor Dr., matched the first five winning numbers for Saturday's drawing, according to the Minnesota Lottery. The winning Powerball numbers were 3-16-32-52-62 and the Powerball was 24.
Additionally, the Minnesota Lottery says a North 5 ticket worth nearly $100,000 was sold at the Holiday Stationstore in Shakopee for the Friday drawing. Those winning numbers were 4-20-26-30-33.
Both Holidays will receive a bonus for selling the winning tickets. The store in Cottage Grove earned $5,000 and the Holiday in Shakopee earned $995.
The winners must claim their winnings at the Minnesota Lottery headquarters in Roseville, as is required for prizes above $50,000. They will not be publicly identified unless they choose to be.
Winners have one year to claim their prizes and are encouraged to call ahead to check hours and make an appointment.
The Powerball jackpot for Monday is an estimated $128 million, while North 5's jackpot is estimated to be $29,000.
Minnesotans voted overwhelmingly last November to approve a ballot measure to allow the state to continue using lottery money to protect the environment. In January, Gov. Tim Walz approved $1.2 million of those funds to go towards avian influenza research.

Jim Cramer on General Mills: 'The Stock's Going to Go Down Anyway'
General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his views on. A caller asked if Cramer has shifted his stance on the company, and he replied: 'Yeah, I've gone from here to here, meaning, no, not much stance changed at all. Here's the problem: This is one of those companies that, frankly, is part of what I talk about as being in the heart of the inflation complex. They've got food that costs too much, they have input costs that cost too much, and they're going to have to sacrifice their profit margin and bring their food price down, or else they're not going to do the business that they used to do, and no one wants to cut their margins. They're afraid about what will happen in the stock market, but all that's going to happen, the stock's going to go down anyway.' Copyright: jetcityimage / 123RF Stock Photo General Mills (NYSE:GIS) produces and markets a broad portfolio of packaged foods across meals, snacks, baking, and dairy, along with pet food products.

58-Year-Old Lottery Winner Tried To Strike A Deal With Teen Son, But Backed Out When The 19-Year-Old Wanted 80% —'I Didn't Realize How Greedy He Was'
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. We all daydream about winning the lottery. Maybe it's a beach house. Maybe it's early retirement. Or maybe—if you're a parent—you imagine setting your kid up for life. That's exactly what a 58-year-old father tried to do when he hit the jackpot with a $1,000-a-day-for-life prize. But instead of gratitude, he got a negotiation that made him rethink everything. In a viral Reddit post, the dad explained how he approached his 19-year-old son with a plan: he'd hand over the winning ticket, and in return, the son would give him half the money until the father passed. After that, the son would receive 100% of the daily payout for the rest of his life.

Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." Here's how you can earn passive income with just $10. Although he didn't spell out all the logic, the intent seemed clear: his son, being 19, had a much longer life expectancy and could benefit from the "for life" prize far longer than he could. The father was essentially trying to gift his son a lifetime of financial security—while covering himself with a fair 50/50 arrangement in the meantime. The teen's response? Not exactly a warm embrace. "He came back and said it wasn't really fair for me to want half," the dad wrote. "He said that I could live another 40 years. That he might need the money more and that I should take 20%." So the dad thought about it—and then signed the ticket and claimed the lump sum himself. He's now working with a lawyer to set his son up in other ways: college will be covered, a house fund will be waiting, and a trust is being arranged to ensure long-term support. Still, the son is angry—and so is the dad's ex, who apparently expected a cut too. Reddit, of course, had thoughts. A lot of them. "Dad is a sweetheart, son a greedy pig," one user wrote. Another called it "rage bait," adding, "No way is someone that greedy and s*****." One of the top-rated replies summed it up like this: "A 19-year-old kid tried to negotiate from $180K/year for doing nothing to $290K/year with zero leverage and was surprised when it blew up in his face." Some were quick to defend the father's pivot to the lump sum. "It was probably for the best," a commenter wrote. "Judging the son's character... the father was probably going to get hosed on that deal pretty much immediately." Others pointed out just how generous the original offer was. "If my father had offered me that deal, I would show up at his doorstep every morning with his cash, a dozen doughnuts, and his coffee exactly the way he likes it." For what it's worth, the dad isn't leaving his son high and dry—but he's not pretending the whole thing didn't sting. "I thought I was being smart, but I didn't realize how greedy he was," he wrote. In cases like this—where family, money, and long-term plans collide—it's often smart to bring in a professional. Even if you're not lucky enough to win the lottery, platforms like SmartAsset can connect you with financial advisors who help with everything from retirement planning to tax strategy to making sure your kids don't end up arguing over the inheritance. Whether you're setting up support for your kids, planning your estate, or just trying to avoid a financial decision you'll regret later, good advice can go a long way. Because giving your kid the golden goose? That's one thing. Watching him complain it's not laying fast enough—that's something else entirely.
